ES, I've quit railroading: and I
will never throw another
■witch or flog another train as
long as I have my faculties well oiled
and the bearings cool.”
A number of old-time printers were
seated on the railing In front of the
office watting for the "ghokt” to walk,
wben one of the party asked Stiff If he
bad given up railroading. Stilt had
"carried” this same comp over the road
a number of times.
"Why, on my last trip out of Mem
phis In II— you were flagging for
your brother and you told me you had
adopted the road, as there was good
money and a future In It On that trip
you 'took In' more than a V, besides
your salary. Why did you give It up?"
"■0. hoodoo."
“A what?"
"A hoodoo."
"Oh, come off! What are you giving
us? What kind of a hoodoo?"
"A negro."
“How was that? Tell us about It”
"We had the best run on the road—
a fast freight—leaving Memphis at
10:20 at night and arriving at Amory,
the end of our division, early the next
morning. We had a negro brakeman
called ‘Big Six,' who was the best
worker and the meanest negro I had
ever come In contact with. He was
afraid of nothing on earth except tha
'captain,' as he called the conductor.
He failed to 'show up' for his run one
night. When we returned to Mem
phis we were Informed 'Uncle Zack'
had been murdered.
" ‘Uncle Zack' was an .old negro who
flagged a street crossing In Memphis
for our road, and was one of the best
old negroes I have ever known. He
and hie wife were peacefully sleeping'
In their little cottsge near the cross
ing the night before, when the woman
was awakened as a blow was struck
her husband.
‘"Big Six’ was standing by the bed
side with an ax In hie hands, with
which he had split wide open the head
of the old negro. The woman recog
nised him and screamed. He fled, and
a diligent search by the officers tailed
to reveal hie whereabouts.
"That night we pulled out at 10:20,
as usual. Twenty miles out of Mem
phis, at Cold Water Creek, we took
water. Just after leaving the tank,
one negro brakeman came back to the
caboose and reported that 'Big Six' had
boarded the train.
"The conductor told him to say
nothing and we would capture him at
Holly Springe, which was our next
stop.
"When we arrived there a police
man was summoned, and the night
clerk of the depot eating house Joined
In the capture oO the negro.
"I had 1? 'passengers’ In a car of
corn, from whom I had ‘collected’ IMS.
“ i this car ‘Big Six' had taken refuge.

one to come qut of the car.

we thought he had escaped. We got
through the fence as soon as possible,
but not a sign of the fleeing negro was
there.
"We thought he had dropped Into
ditch and would probably fire on us, eo
we began our search very cautiously.

had some very funny experiences since
I have been on this window. People
generally have no Idea how Ignorant
Is the average traveler. A favorite
question le for people to ask what time
'their* trains leave. Of course I don’t
know which train they mean. As sense
less Is the question, 'What time dpee
ths Houthern leave, or the Central?’
The other day a man callad up and
asked me If 1 knew what ths Beil Tel

think we should know everything. Of
course one gets used to the trains, but
when the questions come et you so very
fast and mixed with them are Inquiries
about places out In town and whether
they will make connections and what
sort of n place I.ult la to spend the
night, well. It Is a little too much. I
come on at T o'clock and generally stay
at the window until about CIO, though
If the afternoon trains are very late I
remain until about 7.
Nearly all of the Inquiries come from
women. 1 don't have ten questions a
